MORAL RECREATION
Afforded By the Young Mems Christian
Association Reception Last Night.

Afforded By the Young Mems Christian
Association Reception Last Night.
The members reception at the Young
Mems Christian association last night
was well attended and was certainly an
interesting and delightful affair. In ad-
dition to the pleasure Of social inter-
course, Mrs. G. Il. Williams, DR.. Lowry,
DR.. Deadly and Mr.. Ii. Franklin, were
present with powerful microscopes and
interested the visitors by showing the
awful animalcula Of the San Antonio
river water, the beauties Of tic" ~
and the wonders Of insect life, ETC., as
shown under the microscopes. The re-
cepti0n committee handled the megele-
Telescope, showing in all their artistic
beauty, some OF the famous places 10
Europe. During the evening Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Lord, Professor Vincint, Mr.. and
Mrs. Cummins and others, varied the
proceedings by vocal and instrumental
music.
Towards the close of the meeting
President W. J. B. Patterson called the
assembly to order, and thanking all for
the attendance, and intimating that the
pre- ent meeting was simply the fore
runner OF monthly meetings OF like
character, he reminded the members
that the meeting was the adjourned an
nual meeting, and Ii was their duty to
fill five vacancies that now occur in
the directorate. He suggested the
names of G. o. Mcclure, Geo. III. Craig,
G. 4. Arnold, Reagan Houston and j.
W. Glass as fit persons for the position.
On motion of Mr. Dalton, seconded by
Mr.. Hildebrandt, the gentlemen named
were elected. The president then ex-
planned that DR.. j. Duryee Stevenson
was to have addressed the meeting, but
unfortunately he was indisposed; he
therefore asked the Rev. W. b. Preston
to fill bis place. The reverend gentle
man did so, and commended the 1850
citation and the gatherings, such as that
present.
Mr.. G. T. Williams, general secretary,
then addressed the meeting, and said
that when the rooms were opened, nine
months ago, people said that 1t would
draw only few people. He called attention
to the following figures from his report:
Number of visitors on week days. 23,7l0
Average per day ........................ l03
Attendance at Gospel meetings go. ......2 2, 34
Average per Sunday. ........................ %
Total attendance for nine months. 20, 070
Average per month............ ............2,Sy0
Which showed oonclusively that they
were wrong, and as proof that the in
terest had not absted he cited that fact
that whereas 81 was the average Sunday
attendance at the Gospel meeting last
Sunday 20 persons were present. This
closed the business, and then the ladies
under the direction of Mrs. l. p. Simp-
son and Mrs. w. j. B. Patterson served
round cake and lemonade. After this
was done 8 hymn was sung and DIR.
Scudder dismissed the meeting with a
blessing

That Minstrel Show.

Boerneites are rather excited over an
imposition recently practiced upon
them. A party Of San Antonio walters
went over there and gave minstrel
show. A good crowd was drawn, but it
was the most miserable show ever pre-
scented to an audience. Then they
skipped the town, leaving board, print-
ing and other bills unpaid. They were
followed and some property attached.
After this the troupe WIS allowed TO go
and were last seen walking in the d.
rection of the city.
